California: Ammunition Registration Bill Still Pending on Assembly Floor, Vote Likely this Thursday

SB 53 would require the purchasers of ammunition to register with the state Department of Justice (DOJ) prior to purchasing any ammunition.  This registration would require the submission of fingerprints, a background check and fees to the DOJ.  If passed and enacted into law, SB 53 would require the collection and reporting of personal consumer information and thumbprinting for all ammunition purchases throughout the state.  It would also ban online and mail-order sales of all ammunition, including hunting and collectible ammunition.  In addition, SB 53 would require anyone wishing to exercise their fundamental right to keep and bear arms to obtain a costly ammunition purchaser permit that must be renewed every two years.

The next chance for SB 53 to be considered on the Assembly floor is this Thursday, June 19. It's CRITICAL that you contact your state Assemblyman TODAY and urge him or her to OPPOSE this egregious legislation. Contact information for your state legislator can be found here.
